CPU, GPU, TPU, QPU: The Four Chips That Tell the Story of Computing

Every computing revolution started the same way - an application outgrew the hardware. Here’s the pattern, explained simply. There are four letters that tell the entire story of modern computing. CPU. GPU. TPU. QPU. Each one was born the same way: an application got so big, so demanding, that the existing chip couldn’t keep up. So someone built a new one. And a giant company emerged. This has happened three times already. It’s happening a fourth time right now. And almost nobody is connecting the dots.
